According to early reports, the majority leader of the
house, was so badly beaten, he was drenched in blood.
The police were said to have watched the violent scene
as unconcerned observers.

With the news above, I don't think it will be long before the 1st shots are fired.

You forgot the ultimate provision which will render your man helpless

State of Emergency . . .

You miss the point. State of emergency or whatever may succeed in rendering Amechie helpless but may not prevent chaos that will follow. Years down the line, you people will start spending money again to curb militancy.

IF this is the true story, then its quite unfortunate. We must condemn barbaric acts like this no matter whose side we are on.

Lol. abi? Violence shouldn't be promoted in Nigeria Politics anymore, we have had enough. Although it doesn't change the fact that Amaechi is getting it all wrong politically.

The commissioner of police led the 5 anti amaechi house members to impeach the speaker and beat up Chidi Lloyds. Am afraid this will lead to chaos, cos we have 2 speakers in rivers state presently. Eye witness.

The New Speaker just spoke to naija info and he said 16 members out of the 25 members of the house present passed vote of no confidence to the leadership of the house. He said governor ameachi came to the house and faught him. He claimed gov ameachi tore his colleague shirt nd ordered his boys to chase them out. UPDATE: The new speaker hon. Evans BP said he has no plans to imepeach the governor but if needs arises he will, speaking to naija info. The speaker said it is sham for the governor to have intruded in the house sitting

They seem to forget that there were witnesses. I heard they came with youths in buses and started the attack from outside which forced workers to flee.

There was free-for-all yesterday at the Rivers State House of Assembly between pro and anti-Amaechi lawmakers.

The five lawmakers loyal to the Minister of State for Education, Chief Nyesom Wike, initially impeached the Speaker, Otelemaba Dan Amachree, with a new Speaker, Evans Bapakaye Bipi, who represents Ogu/Bolo constituency, elected as the new speaker.

As Bipi mounted the speaker’s seat to give his acceptance/maiden speech, the Rivers Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, who is also the Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF), stormed the main chambers of the Assembly, with Amachree, other loyal lawmakers and security men, leading to exchange of fisticuffs.

In the course of fighting with dangerous weapons, the Speaker and Leader of the House, Chidi Lloyd, a lawyer, who represents Emohua constituency and loyal to Amaechi were injured. Lloyd is still in the hospital.

Also seriously injured were two anti-Amaechi lawmakers: Martins Amewhule and Michael Okechukwu Chinda, and also hospitalised, with anti-Amaechi lawmakers sacked from the House.

When the punching eventually subsided, the House later sat amid tight security, with 23 pro-Amaechi lawmakers in attendance and presided over by Amachree. Amaechi left immediately.

Rivers Deputy Governor, Tele Ikuru, an engineer, was later ushered into the Assembly chambers and he presented minor adjustments to the 2013 budget, on behalf of Amaechi.

Speaker said the amendment would not affect the earlier figure of N490 billion. Shortly after Ikuru left, the House was tadjourned indefinitely, in view of the tension.

We all have not gotten the real story but sycophants like you are already taking sides and what not. Let it be known here that i condemn violence in its entirety no matter what.
